ORIGIN

This 2006 Mini Cooper is powered by a supercharged 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transmission and is finished in metallic blue over black and grey cloth. Features include the John Cooper Works tuning kit as well as the Premium, Convenience, and Cold Weather packages. The car spent time with two owners in California and Oklahoma before its recent acquisition by the seller, and the odometer shows 83k miles. Service in March 2019 included replacement of vacuum and vent lines, a power steering hose, an oxygen sensor, and the tires as well as an alignment and oil change. This R53 is offered at no reserve with a Carfax report, the seller’s service records, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in metallic blue with a black roof, mirrors, and rockers. The condition of the paintwork is shown up close in the gallery below. The Carfax report notes an impact in 2015 which reportedly occurred in a parking lot and left the scrape shown on the left rear bumper. Paint chips are also photographed on the front end.

A dark tint is worn on the side and rear glass. The seller had new Continental ExtremeContact tires installed on the retro-style wheels in March 2019. An alignment was also performed, and a power steering return line was replaced.

The cabin features black seats with grey cloth inserts and manual adjustment. The car was optioned new with the Convenience, Premium, and Cold Weather packages. Just under 83k miles are shown on the odometer, with approximately 400 added by the seller.

The supercharged and intercooled 1.6-liter inline-four is mated to a six-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential. Peak output was rated at 208 horsepower with the factory John Cooper Works kit.

Servicing in March 2019 included a general inspection followed by replacement of an oxygen sensor, a vacuum hose, and a fuel vent line.

The Carfax lists the aforementioned accident with the previous owner in Oklahoma and shows registrations in California and New York for two other owners including the seller. A driving video is provided below.
